Verdict

Nicky Henderson does well here and is doubly represented by two of his lesser lights Malachite and Rebel Commander. Both may improve now hurdling over this trip, but the vote has to go to VOIE DANS VOIE. Alan King has his team in great shape and his young horse will find this a lot easier having bumped into the useful Dr Des last time. It was a surprise to see him well-backed to beat a 142 rated rival and this is a less demanding task. Fawsley Spirit shaped well on his hurdling debut, whilst Ebonys Encore and Lough Ryn are probably far better than their latest efforts indicate.
